Slip Activation Potential of Fractures in the Crystalline Basement Rocks of Kuujjuaq (Nunavik, Canada) to Assess Enhanced Geothermal Systems Development

Slip Activation Potential of Fractures in the Crystalline Basement Rocks of Kuujjuaq (Nunavik, Canada) to Assess Enhanced Geothermal Systems Development

This work presents an estimate of the slip activation potential of existing fractures in a remote northern community located on Canadian Shield rocks for geothermal purposes. To accomplish this objective, we analyzed outcrop analogues and recorded geometrical properties of fractures, namely the stri...
